Low hit points are a literal killer with these guys. Nothing much to brag about yet, but I figured I'd start posting so at least there's some record that a few non-Japanese can play this game. :) My best sorcerer made 29th. This guy should get there and beyond. I'm praying that Heng has hit point boosting items like Pern.

This guy I believe made it to 29th. He beat the Logrus Master quest, but died to an Invoke Logrus happy Logrus Master around 1500-1600', paired with a stinking cloud happy five-headed hydra. The worst part of the death was the fight was completely unnecessary. It was the last room of an already explored, fairly unimportant dungeon level. Con potions were no doubt around the corner--definitely should have played it safer. And a ring of speed, too! I actually died once but it was in the Arena, which, to my surprise (and tremendous relief) didn't permanently kill my character. Didn't think a vampire lord would be so tough, but when your sorcerer runs out of mana, you can count out the seconds you've got left to live. Fun variant. I tell you, my winner is coming soon!
